First Stage

1:00 p.m.; 3:30 p.m. | Todd Wehr Theatre, Marcus Center for the Perf Arts

Based on the books by Doreen Cronin and Harry Bliss, Book, Music and Lyrics by Joan Cushing. A masterful fusion of excitement and education, this adventure is as delightfully absurd and joyously playful as the wildly popular book series. Walk alongside the worm, the spider and the fly as they learn to overcome many of the same life challenges that we face and emerge with a better understanding – and appreciation – for who they are. For ages 3 and up. Tickets and information: (414) 267-2961 or www.firststage.org.
